Flavors of Morocco

Intrepid Travel's Real Food Adventures offers the opportunity to meet like-minded travelers to immerse themselves in local cuisine on trips where culture and adventure are accompanied by a substantial cooking and catering side. The Moroccan itinerary includes sipping mint tea on the Casablanca Corniche, eating a home-cooked feast in the "blue city" of Chefchaouen, exploring the Fez medina and camping in the Sahara before ending in buzzing Marrakech. More than half of those who book these trips travel alone, so it's easy to bond at cooking classes, tastings and street food trails.From £980, 12 days, different dates, intrepidtravel.com
